This repository contains materials to reproduce the results reported in Fazekas, Z & ME Hansen (forthcoming). Incentives for Non-participation: Absence in the United Kingdom House of Commons, 1997-2015. Public Choice. MP names have been removed.

The repository contains: 
- two data files (.Rdata) where "absence_within.Rdata" contains two data frames; 
- two scripts responsible for the analysis
- one sessionInfo, based on the absence_fit_between.R script, as this one is more encompassing. 

Please note: Models take quite some time to run and convergence diagnostics should always be used. Depending on convergence points, minor variation in specific predictions can appear.

Original data sources and coding related information are presented in the article.
